"powell sets forth a powerful argument that... until we expand our sense of self, we will be unable to create the racially egalitarian and democratic society to which many progressives aspire... A brilliantly original and provocative challenge to the current social order." Michael Omi, author of Racial Formation in the United States: From the 1960s to the 1990s "A book that will provoke readers to rethink prevailing notions of race, racial identity, and racism... [and] what prevailing law does and does not consider in tackling persistent forms of racial inequality." - Rachel D. Godsil, Seton Hall University School of Law "Infused by moral urgency, intellectual precision, sweeping command of history and of critical race theory, and an unequalled ability to situate race in concrete places, these linked essays take us into the mind of one of our greatest legal and social thinkers. They navigate tensions between law and justice with consummate skill and great passion." David Roediger, co-author of The Production of Difference "john a. powell is among the most original and important thinkers writing about politics, race and social change in America. He is a genuine genius whose work has been indispensible to thousands of activists and scholars. Finally, his critical work is gathered together in one place. If we succeed in changing in America--and we must do so--it will be in no small part because we have engaged deeply with the ideas, analysis and heart in this book. Racing to Justice is essential reading for everyone implicated by race in America--and that means everyone." Deepak Bhargava, Center for Community Change "Juxtaposing race, spirituality, self, and social justice, john powell reveals the poverty in contemporary policy debates and crafts a road map for building true democratic community. Read this book and tell a friend." Stephanie M. Wildman, Center for Social Justice and Public Service, Santa Clara University School of LawLer mais...
